A Valentines Dinner-Steamed Lobster with Roasted Brussles Sprouts and Shallots

Posted February 11, 2011 by Bill

For Valentines Day this year we are serving you a delicious dinner recipe that will be sure to win the heart of your special someone. Lobster is not an everyday indulgence, so we thought this would be the perfect time to present this dish. We have attempted a few different lobster recipes in the past, but none seem to compare to a classic steamed lobster.

For this recipe we wanted to make something seemingly complex, but in reality, extremely simple. It wouldn’t be truly Paleo if you were stressing over cooking, now would it? So relax, and enjoy this one. Valentines Day is meant to be shared with someone you love, and what better way to show your love and appreciation than over a beautiful home cooked meal?

Ingredients:

2-2 lb lobsters

1 lb of Brussles sprouts

2 shallots, thinly sliced

2 tbsp olive oil

Salt and pepper to taste

Grass fed butter for dipping

Process:Brussles Sprouts
